Information on (EDT)It is now a legal requirement in order to undertake a driving test. You must first complete all 12 EDT stages and have an ADI and sponsor logbook completed. It should be noted that stages does not necessarily mean lessons numbers, as it may make additional lessons to complete to competence. It may seem complicated now, but at Callan's we are totally conversant with any query you may have about EDT and its process.

Essential Driver Training at Callan, Driving School, Swords, Dublin Essential Driver Training (EDT) is a mandatory training syllabus put in place by the Road Safety Authority in order to ensure a minimum standard for learner drivers prior to the driving test. The EDT syllabus is broken down into 12 units of learning, taken from and explained within the booklet LDT or Learner Driver Training booklet. Essentially this is the commencement of the RSA's new Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) scheme for young drivers, which is intended to be introduced gradually to improve road safety.

Note:Lessons Vs Units of LearningIt should also be noted by pupils and sponsors alike, that these are not just 12 lessons. Simply put, these are "units of learning" on the above syllabus, each section could be broken down into beginner, intermediate, and competent stages.

It is also advised that you read the Learner Driver Syllabus or LDT which breaks down the EDT syllabus into detailed content. Remember, as no two people learn at the same pace, it may take some time and indeed practice to complete and become competent in the lesson unit numbers as stated above......More information at www.rsa.ie regarding EDT.
